Esteemed Colleagues,
At the risk of sounding like some kind of BBQ bararian /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif , I was wondering if anyone else uses their leather gloves in an "all purpose" sort of way.....
1. I use my leather yard gloves to handle the hot coal chimney.
2. Use the same gloves for all aspects of the BBQ which involve hot surfaces.
3. Use the same gloves to rotate my butts, ribs, chickens etc.
4. Use the same gloves for handling the greasy grates after the clean-up. (I don't get them wet though)
These old leather gloves work great. The fingers are darkend because of the grease and so forth - but I love 'em.
The heavy rubber gloves that I bought for handling meat do not handle hot-heavy-butts very well because the meat is slippery. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Is this use of my gloves a complete violation of sanitary cooking practices?
Or, have I simply reverted to my cave-man ancestry where the words "sanitary" and "cooking" are not spoken in the same sentence?
As an attempt at redemption, I'd like everyone to know that I wash my hands after every use of the bathroom! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Would anybody else like to come forth right now, and fess-up to any of their unhealthful cooking ways?
Anybody?
